Hooked

Zach comes from a long line of leather clad men and motorcycles, it’s the only life he has known, and damn sure the only life he wants to live. He is as tough and arrogant as they come, he doesn’t do love, feelings or relationships, and his entanglements with the opposite sex are usually one night and done. The women who come knocking know the score, accept the terms, get what they came for and leave, and that is the way he likes to keep it, that is until a certain sexy rich girl stumbles into his world. To say that they are opposites attract is a complete understatement, in normal circumstances, neither one of them would survive in each other’s worlds, but for some reasons their bodies don’t realize that… they can’t get enough of one another. So, what started as a quick little pool table rendezvous winds up being on the borders of forever, and it scares the hell out of both of them… and it leaves them wondering, can they really find common ground and make this little arrangement last? Or are they kidding themselves?

This book was something else, a seriously sexy something else, from the moment I saw the cover I was “hooked,” and the farther I delved into Zach and Grace’s the more addicted I became, I just could not stop reading… I had to know if they could find a way to make things work!! Going in I knew Ms. Phillips has a knack for writing hot little reads, but she really surprised me with this one, these two had me feeling the flames, their story was so hot, every encounter they shared was filled with smoldering intensity, unbridled passion, & a scorching chemistry that had my tablet on the verge of melting several times!! When Zach walked into my world I knew I was in trouble, the man exudes this undeniable sex appeal, mesmerizing dominating power, and this alpha to the core swagger that that draws you in….I mean WOW!!! I highly recommend you make a point to pick this book up, the minute Zach walks into your world he’ll have you at his mercy, and keep you completely entranced long after the last page is turned!!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this title.

Well, that was a sweet surprise!

Hooked is the fictional equivalent of cotton candy. Pink cotton candy. I love cotton candy.

Hero and heroine meet when rich chick Grace’s car breaks down and she has to go to the big scary biker bar to make a phone call. Zach the big bad biker H sees and wants to have raunchy sex with her and does. Grace just broke up with her white-bread fiancee and thinks a ride on the wild side is in order.

Doesn’t quite work out that way as their ONS turns into a month long affair. POV from both characters works well as they both try to figure out what the heck they are doing with each other, and they both open up in different ways. Thank goodness, the author didn’t go the cheap and easy route and make Grace a snooty bee-yotch. Okay, she’s a little princess, but she’s pretty sweet.

Kudos to Christina Phillips for giving readers (me at least) what we want. Zach says something unforgivable [ he tells Grace she’s just good for sex in a pathetic attempt to push her way. You know…FEELINGS! (hide spoiler)] He goes to find her, and does she roll over? No way Jose! She makes him sweat and work for forgiveness.

More of a novella than anything, I would have liked more with her family and Zach and at least one more confrontation with the dweebie, white-bread ex. Tons of sex if that is a no.

Side note: He’s the worst MC bad-ass, bad boy biker EVER. The most he does is punch a potential prospect for calling Grace a word the H uses all the time.
